  • The Delphi Timeline Is Falling Apart — What Investigators Said Under Oath

    The Delphi Timeline Is Falling Apart — What Investigators Said Under Oath
    Nov 19 2025
    In this episode, I sit down with defense attorney and trial analyst Bob Motta to examine the most explosive development yet in the Delphi case: the collapse of the timeline investigators built around the murders of Abby and Libby.

    For years, the timeline was treated as settled. But when you read the depositions, the cracks spread fast. Bob and I break down how witness statements were reshaped, how the search-warrant affidavit reframed crucial descriptions, and how timelines were tightened or loosened depending on who was writing the report. This isn’t conjecture — it’s sworn testimony.

    Bob walks us through the most glaring issues: a witness who described a young man and an older car, yet was portrayed to the judge as having seen something “consistent” with Richard Allen; investigators who can’t agree on when the FBI was involved; conflicting testimony about the time of death; missing documentation around the bullet that ties Allen’s gun to the case; symbolic elements at the crime scene ignored or downplayed; and third-party suspects whose movements and statements were never thoroughly pursued.

    This interview digs into why these inconsistencies matter — not emotionally, but legally. How does a conviction stand when the foundation beneath it shifts every time you compare one deposition to another? How does an affidavit remain valid when key information was omitted or altered? And how does the public reconcile the clean version of the case with the messy, disjointed reality revealed behind closed doors?

    This isn’t about guilt or innocence — it’s about whether the system followed its own rules. And according to the depositions, the timeline wasn’t built on solid ground. It was built on selective memory, contradictory claims, and investigative shortcuts that now threaten the entire structure of the case.

  • Delphi Investigators’ Behavior Makes No Sense — Ret FBI Robin Dreeke Breaks It Down

    Delphi Investigators’ Behavior Makes No Sense — Ret FBI Robin Dreeke Breaks It Down
    Nov 19 2025
    In today’s episode, former FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke, joins me for a breakdown unlike anything you’ve heard about the Delphi case. Forget the sanitized, press-conference version of this investigation. Robin and I go deep into the human psychology behind the breakdown — the way investigators acted, reacted, remembered, forgot, contradicted each other, shut out certain leads, and emotionally locked onto others.

    The depositions don’t just reveal evidence issues. They reveal behavioral issues. And Robin reads those better than anyone.

    Why did two lead investigators swear under oath to completely opposite stories about the FBI’s involvement? How does a team forget or “not recall” something as significant as an early BAU ritual-indicator assessment? Why would symbolic elements at the crime scene be brushed aside? Why would red-flag behavior from potential suspects be minimized? Why were sticks left for days, evidence untested, witness statements reframed, and major investigative steps glossed over?

    Robin walks us through the behavioral patterns that show up when an investigative system is overwhelmed — from narrative lock, to tunnel vision, to fear-based decision making, to the emotional need to force coherence onto an incoherent case. We discuss cognitive contamination, leadership collapse, internal factioning, memory distortion, and the psychological pressure that quietly reshapes how investigators interpret facts.

    This episode isn’t about guilt or innocence. It’s about how the people behind the Delphi investigation functioned — and dysfunctioned. And why that matters.

    If you want to understand why this investigation feels so fractured, and what the depositions really reveal about the team that built the case, Robin’s analysis is absolutely essential.

  • Delphi Investigators Implode Under Oath — The Depositions Change Everything

    Delphi Investigators Implode Under Oath — The Depositions Change Everything
    Nov 19 2025
    In our latest interview, defense attorney Bob Motta joins me to dissect the one thing the public never truly got to see in the Delphi murders case: the investigators themselves, speaking under oath. And what those depositions reveal isn’t a unified, focused, evidence-driven investigative team — it’s a fractured, inconsistent, internally conflicted system struggling under the weight of its own decisions.

    For years, the Delphi narrative has been kept clean and simple on the surface. But beneath that exterior is a record full of contradictions: investigators who cannot agree on whether the FBI was removed from the case… conflicting recollections about the Behavioral Analysis Unit’s early assessment… witness statements reshaped in the search-warrant affidavit… third-party suspects dismissed despite disturbing statements and behavior… symbolic evidence at the crime scene left unexplored… and forensic gaps that defy basic homicide protocol.

    Bob walks us through all of it — the timeline manipulation, the altered witness descriptions, the failure to pursue leads, the missing documentation around the bullet, the sticks left in the woods for days, and the Odinism material that sat in the prosecutor’s office for months before being disclosed. These are not minor mistakes. These are systemic failures with massive implications for Richard Allen’s appeal.

    If you're looking for the polished, sanitized version of this case, this isn’t it. This is the raw underside — the part the public didn’t see, the part juries never heard, and the part that may very well determine whether this conviction withstands appellate scrutiny.

    When investigators contradict each other, forget key events, minimize crucial evidence, and reshape witness statements to fit a narrative, it’s not just bad optics — it’s a crisis of investigative integrity. And today, Bob and I break that crisis wide open.

  • The Delphi Investigation Was a Train Wreck — Here’s the Evidence EXPOSED!

    The Delphi Investigation Was a Train Wreck — Here’s the Evidence EXPOSED!
    Nov 19 2025
    In the Delphi murders case, the public has only ever been shown one version of events — a clean timeline, a single suspect, and an investigation that supposedly marched in a straight line toward justice. But once you start digging into the actual depositions of the investigators who built the case against Richard Allen, that clean version evaporates fast.

    What’s underneath is something entirely different: a fractured investigation full of contradictions, missing evidence, conflicting statements, and decisions that make you wonder how much of the original truth ever had a chance to survive.

    Today, we’re taking you deep inside the sworn testimony and filings that the public was never meant to examine this closely. What did investigators really say under oath? Why do key officials contradict each other about major decisions — including whether the FBI was pushed out of the case? Why were crucial witness statements reshaped before being used in a search-warrant affidavit? Why were important leads labeled “no further action” despite red-flag behavior? Why were symbolic elements at the crime scene barely documented? And how did evidence end up in court without the chain-of-custody clarity you’d expect in a double-homicide investigation?

    This isn’t about guilt or innocence. It’s about process — whether the investigation that led to Richard Allen’s conviction was built on solid ground or on decisions that shifted depending on who was asking the questions. And when you open the actual language inside these depositions, you start to see exactly why the integrity of this case is being challenged at the appellate level.

    Was the investigation thorough? Was it objective? Was it consistent? Or did pressure, confusion, and internal conflict bend the foundation long before the trial ever began?

    Today, we go through it all — in detail, in context, and with the clarity this case deserves.

    If you care about the truth in Delphi, you’re going to want to hear this.

  • Delphi’s Ignored Leads — Why Investigators Dropped the Red Flags

    Delphi’s Ignored Leads — Why Investigators Dropped the Red Flags
    Nov 19 2025
    Today, defense attorney Bob Motta and I take a hard look at one of the most troubling aspects of the Delphi murder investigation: the leads that were dismissed, minimized, or never meaningfully followed.

    The depositions show something the public has never had a clear window into — investigators explaining why certain suspects weren’t pursued, why certain statements didn’t matter, why symbolic elements of the crime scene were ignored, and why potentially exculpatory information was either downplayed or outright forgotten.

    In this conversation, Bob breaks down how two individuals tied to the Odinism angle — individuals whose behavior should have triggered deeper investigation — were inexplicably filed as “no further action.” One made a disturbing comment about whether his DNA would be found on the girls. The other posted imagery eerily similar to the crime scene and owned a .40-caliber handgun that was never seized or tested. These aren’t fringe details. These are red flags. Massive ones.

    Yet the investigative record treats them as footnotes.

    Bob and I go through why leads like these get dropped, how narrative lock affects decision-making, and what happens when the pressure to find “the right suspect” overshadows the obligation to explore every suspect. We cover the symbolic patterns on the girls’ bodies, the missing tree-origin analysis on the sticks, the late disclosure of the Odinism file, and the dissonance between what investigators told the public versus what they swore to in depositions.

    This isn’t speculation. It’s not theory. It’s the investigators themselves, under oath, explaining why critical evidence was set aside — and whether that decision is now going to haunt the state on appeal.

    If you want to understand the investigative blind spots in the Delphi case, this is the episode.

  • Where Is Richard Allen Now? The Vanishing Defendant & The Corrupt Justice System-WEEK IN REVIEW

    Where Is Richard Allen Now? The Vanishing Defendant & The Corrupt Justice System-WEEK IN REVIEW
    Oct 11 2025
    In this final segment, we tackle the eerie silence surrounding Richard Allen’s current status in the Oklahoma prison system. Even his wife Kathy—who hasn’t seen him since the conviction—is still waiting weeks into a background check just to visit. Advocacy groups and legal experts can’t even find his inmate listing. So the question becomes: where is Richard Allen? And why is he being kept so hard to reach?

    Tony, Stacy, Todd, and Bob explore the systemic fog that has enveloped Allen since his sentencing. With no transparency, no accountability, and no updates—even his appellate attorneys are struggling to get access. This isn’t just legal red tape. It’s a case study in how a person can be swallowed by the prison system, with safeguards eroded under vague “safekeeping” orders and bureaucratic runarounds.

    We also discuss the bigger picture: is the state trying to disappear Richard Allen to avoid scrutiny? Are they protecting a conviction at the expense of basic human rights? Or has the machine simply stopped caring what happens to the man at the center of one of the most contested murder trials in recent history?

    This is a wake-up call for anyone who believes due process is still alive and well in America.

  • Mental Collapse or Delphi Murder Admission? Richard Allen Jail Calls Exposed

    Mental Collapse or Delphi Murder Admission? Richard Allen Jail Calls Exposed
    Oct 8 2025
    This second segment dives into the devastating mental deterioration of Richard Allen during his 13-month pretrial incarceration in solitary confinement—what the state called a “safekeeping order.” Tony, Stacy, Todd, and Bob break down how Allen was isolated, broken down, and allegedly manipulated into confessing to the Delphi murders—not through force, but through psychological collapse.

    Bob takes us inside the jailhouse calls, including one made at 3:15 AM where Allen desperately tells his stepfather he’s losing his mind and feels like he’s in Guantanamo. Hours later, in a fog of confusion, he tells his wife, “I did it”—then follows with, “Evidently I did.” Is that a confession? Or the ramblings of a man pushed to the brink?

    We discuss how labeling solitary as a “single-person cell” let the state sidestep human rights standards, why the court excluded a jail call where Allen professes his innocence, and how this system, by design or dysfunction, weaponizes mental illness to build a case. If this was strategy, not oversight, it’s one of the most ethically disturbing chapters in modern true crime.

    This segment lays bare the line between confession and coercion—and forces us to ask: is it justice if you have to destroy a man’s mind to convict him?

  • Delphi Defense Breakdown: How the System Failed Richard Allen (Again)

    Delphi Defense Breakdown: How the System Failed Richard Allen (Again)
    Oct 8 2025
    In this first segment of Hidden Killers Live, we dig into the shocking breakdown of Richard Allen’s appeal process in the Delphi murders case. With defense attorney and Defense Diaries host Bob Motta joining the panel, we unpack the bureaucratic chaos surrounding missing exhibits tied to the now-infamous 136-page Franks memo—a document that accused law enforcement of misleading the court to obtain a search warrant.

    Why does this matter? Because those exhibits, including documents that point toward alternate suspects, weren't formally entered into evidence—meaning they’ve been omitted from the official trial transcript. The appellate court now has a certified record that’s incomplete, and Richard Allen’s legal team has been forced to file a motion to compel the transmission of those exhibits just to keep the appeal alive.

    Bob explains how different jurisdictions handle this kind of mess, what’s at stake, and how this may set precedent for how other wrongful conviction appeals are sabotaged through procedural technicalities. We also discuss the very real possibility that Richard Allen’s appeal could fail—not because of the merits, but because of broken systems, missing paperwork, and a Kafkaesque legal process that seems more interested in protecting itself than in seeking justice.

    This isn’t just another paperwork delay. It’s potentially the death knell for a man already sentenced to die in prison—and it raises serious questions about transparency, accountability, and whether justice can survive in a system this broken.
